NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Snoox,
the social-recommendations platform that brings you trusted
recommendations from friends, publicly unveiled its first mobile app
today, bringing the versatile platform to your fingertips. The new
mobile app is available for both iOS and Android letting users easily
find and recommend their favorite things while on the go.

Snoox launched in November of last year and was built on the premise
that users turn to friends to find recommendations for new products,
venues, and content. Now the company is leveraging the $2 million in
funding it has raised to extend that experience to mobile, ensuring that
users have a seamless experience across multiple platforms anywhere they
go.

Imagine you’re looking for a great place to eat or fun place to visit in
your area. Now you can see the nearby places and things your friends
have recommended, not just reviews of what’s close. Alternatively,
picture yourself sitting in your new favorite restaurant or that you
just saw an amazing movie and you want to recommend it.

The company has added new features that take specific advantage of
mobile devices’ capabilities including:

Location based search – See recommendations for places and venues that
are in your area

Photo uploads – Quickly snap a photo and add it to a recommendation

Easy recommendation creation – Create a recommendation based on your
location or from a photo uploaded from your phone

“With our mobile app, we set the goal of bringing all of the best
elements of Snoox to your phone, and to take that experience to the next
level with unique features for mobile devices,” said Guy Poreh, founder
of Snoox. “We think that our mobile app gives users a whole new way to
use Snoox, to recommend the things they love, and to find
recommendations from their friends. It’s now easier than ever to find
something new, add a great image, and to recommend it to all your
friends. On the go. Wherever. Whenever.”
